Auckland

So I was sitting in Albert Park today waiting for a friend and (for once) wasn't listening to music.
Paying a lot of attention to the tourists taking photos at the fountain I realised that Albert Park
is beautiful place, quiet and peaceful for an inner city park. I landed up writing the following:

"Close you eyes... Deep breath... Listen... What do you hear? Smell? Welcome to the City,
WELCOME to Albert Park.

In central Auckland amongst the hustle and bustle of the city streets, you'll find it. PARADISE.
Sitting alone near the fountain, the tranquillity of the setting in my surroundings drawing me
into and unknown, hidden Euphoria. In the distance I hear people around me, but right now in
this time and space I'm consumed by myself. Nothing matters but the water splashing and the
sound of seagulls passing overhead. I'm within myself and at peace. Somehow brought back to
the place around me I notice beauty. A goddess embodied in beautiful redness. The flowers, her
body, smell ever so sweet and look edible but, BEWARE they will not be eaten..."

That is where I stopped writing...

Missed Opportunity

"When I don't go somewhere and end up seeing pictures of how fun the day was. I'm not upset because I missed out on a photo opportunity, and I'm not upset that I missed out on a fun day. I'm upset because I missed out on being part of a memory"
-Adam Kennedy

Hope

''All it takes is that little bit of hope to turn your life around.'' -anonymous

So I watched the movie 127 Hours directed by Danny Boyle and realised something.

There is a universal theme of hope that goes unnoticed in every passing day. We cling to life
in the most desperate of circumstances because of an insignificant glimmer of light that is
always present in our everyday lives. Under normal situations we don't acknowledge this 'inner
strength' but under extreme conditions we look towards this light to help us survive.

When all seems lost and death is near, look to the light to guide your way... If you believe in something,
no matter how small or insignificant, there is always a hope that can be found to carry on. An inner
strength that you never knew you were capable of feeling. Your glimmer of HOPE...

Think. Locate and Lock...
No matter how hard the position you have been put in, never lose your hope for it is the one thing that
will forever and always be present in your life...

Hypocrisy

You say things but,
do NOTHING.
You start when you don't need to.
You carry on and on about things
yet,
everything is still how it is.
We try, and you don't see it.
It's like your canvas is always blank.
If you are going to say it.
For once,
DO it...

Dislike

My dislike grows stronger and stronger towards you with every passing day.
Can't you see that you're hurting him?
Hurting me?
It's like you've lived like this so long that you can't see what you are doing.
He loves you, despite what you throw at him.
Open your eyes.
This, what you do,
is
so. un. fair...
Stop it already and let him live his life.
Live certain in the fact that he has grown to be a responsible adult.

You're hurting people you have never met.
This boy,
your son.
He is amazing.
Give it a rest and look up to what is there staring at you point blank in the face.

All I'm asking you to do is try...
Try, nothing more.
Just,
...
TRY!

Lyrics

Work in Progress

VERSE ONE:

''Oh how I miss you,
Just wanna' kiss you,
Everyday.
What my heart is feeling,
Can't keep concealing,
Each passing day.''

CHORUS:

''And,
Now I just want you near me,
Holding me closely in your warm,
Embrace again.
Just wanna' feel you lips on mine.
Da, da um abraço,
Como beijinhos bébé,
Nao fassam mal.
Meu Coraçao é teu''
